Question 23.4: It is required to design a cylinder for a hydraulic pressure......

It is required to design a cylinder for a hydraulic pressure 1000 kN capacity. The wall thickness to internal radius should not be less than 1.5. The allowable tensile stress of cylinder material is 70 MPa. Calculate the inner and the outer diameters of the cylinder.

Given N=1000 \mathrm{kN}, \frac{t}{r_i}=1.5, \sigma_{\mathrm{all}}=70 ~\mathrm{MPa}

From the load capacity, we can write

W=p_i \times\left(\frac{\pi}{4} D_i^2\right)

1000 \times 10^3=p_i \times\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) D_i^2

\therefore \quad p_i=\frac{10^6 \times 4}{\pi \times D_i^2}=\frac{4 \times 10^6}{\pi \times\left(2 r_i\right)^2}

=\frac{10^6}{\pi \times r_i^2} (23.15)

From the maximum shear stress criterion,

\tau_{\max }=\tau_{\text {all }}

\tau_{\text {all }}=p_i \frac{r_o^2}{r_o^2-r_i^2}

0.5 \times 70=\frac{10^6}{\pi r_i^2} \times\left(\frac{r_o^2}{r_o^2-r_i^2}\right) (23.16)

Given that

\frac{t}{r_i}=1.5 \text { or } \frac{r_o-r_i}{r_i}=1.5

\therefore \quad \frac{r_0}{r_i}=1.5+1=2.5

r_0=2.5 r_i (23.17)

From Eqs. (23.16) and (23.17)

0.5 \times 70=\frac{10^6}{\pi r_i^2} \times\left\{\frac{\left(2.5 r_i\right)^2}{\left(2.5 r_i\right)^2-r_i^2}\right\}

solving, we get

r_i=104.05 \mathrm{~mm}

=105 \mathrm{~mm}

r_o=2.5 \times r_i=2.5 \times 105=262.5 \mathrm{~mm}

=270 \mathrm{~mm}

\frac{t}{r_i}=\frac{270-105}{105}=1.57>1.5 \text {, Hence } \mathrm{OK} \text {. }
